Nese did not leave in the end.
Winnie knew where he was going next. The experience of the past two days told him that no matter what, Winnie would always appear next to him.
He had heard of extremely skilled hunters chasing down marked prey as clearly as looking at a bright beam of light rising into the sky in a dark night with clear air.
It seems this is true.
Nesse walked around to the central room on this floor.
There are a large number of precision instruments here. Four wax jars soaked in twisted human bodies are placed at the four corners, with charms for guiding energy painted in the center.
The undead energy is guided and concentrated by a set of brass equipment the size of an elephant that looks like a planetarium. A large complete demantoid garnet in the middle emits a stream of mana surrounded by yin energy upwards.
This mana stream is one of the mana streams that make up the dome.
He paused to study. Winnie had just disappeared for a moment, then suddenly reappeared and announced that there was no "nobody in the way" in the upper half of the tower. Further down, there is a forbidden magic barrier blocking it, so no one can get through there.
"The person in the way?" Nese asked.
"Living people," the half-elf replied. She squatted under the big gem and was holding something. Nesse thought she was going to pry it away, but she just stood up and clapped her hands.
"Don't you want that gem?" he said. "It's worth at least five hundred gold coins."
"Say less. I can sell it for one thousand and nineteen. I know the goods, boss!"
"I'm not your boss."
Nese said, feeling a little weak at the same time.
"Okay. Boss, it's time to go to Semeran College." Winnie said.
They returned to the gates of Wilenz's cracked tower, and Smell visited Nesei again.
Winnie tried to cross the wall of life and death from his hand and twisted the head of the iron statue back.
"The dead will take care of their own affairs. We will wait here for a while." She smiled slyly.
Not long after, chaotic footsteps began to be heard in the tower, and the rusty door slammed open. An old manservant fell on the steps, followed by the dead body in the sarcophagus.
The dead body pounced.
Bang! The old manservant's head was missing a piece of his hood.
Winnie turned the head of the wall of life and death back to the front. The dead body immediately fell limply into the muddy water as if its bones had been ripped out.
"It's really useful." She threw the iron figure over. He took out the knife from his waist, stabbed it into the back of the corpse's skull, and stirred it up.
The old manservant's brains trickled down the steps.
"I don't understand why I killed him." Nesei didn't reach out to take it, and the little iron man fell in front of him. "Didn't you say there was a barrier in the middle?"
"That's a barrier for the living. Dead bodies can pass..."
Wei Ni looked at his face, smiled, stopped talking, stepped forward to pick up the Wall of Death and Life, and wiped it on her shirt.
She didn't even bother to explain.
Nesse turned away.
Winnie will definitely follow, there is no doubt about it.
She had every reason to kill, felt confident, and was so arrogant that she even thought he would understand. She is half-elf, most likely a product of compulsion, and 100% likely to be an orphan. right. She said that she was once the pioneer of the Blue Forest. Even if she was half human, would there still be any reason for killing someone? Not to mention having money to take it.
It turns out that he can't get rid of Winnie.
But he didn't want to talk to her right now.
The arrogant villain is just looking for profit and kills the old and infirm archmage; the righteous hunter eliminates the scum of the magic world for the people and receives monetary rewards.
Whichever it is, it's fine.
Nese headed forward and trudged in the blood-changing swamp for a while.
The floating city made a ubiquitous, eerie buzzing sound above.
From time to time, large swaths of white light swept across.
Nese occasionally changed directions to avoid the sweeping trajectory of the white light. That is the so-called "strong vision" area, and those deeply hidden clues on his body may be discovered.
Although the demonic aura has been restrained, under the new skin, he still has traces of the energy of the high-level warlock Nesse, and he does not want to take risks.
…
Measured in human form, there is actually a long distance between Semoran College and the Nine Towers.
Nesse passed by a deserted village that had mostly collapsed in the mud and turned into a nest of poisonous crabs. He looked around and saw the curved upper edge of the dome of Semoland College emerging from the scarlet mist.
Winnie, who was following behind, disappeared at some point.
Like every appearance, the half-elf disappeared very suddenly. Nesai looked around and found no clues, so he continued walking forward.
It was getting late, and the terrain on both sides began to rise, and soon it was higher than his head, forming a narrow canyon in front of him. The dome of Semolan Academy exposed in the middle was like an evil crescent.
When Nese walked to the middle of the canyon, he saw a natural cave opened at the narrowest point of the gap, and the aroma of stew wafted from it.
Appetite can't wait and comes immediately.
Judging from the development of the past two days, it should be Winnie.
He should have thought of it earlier. Winnie comes and goes like the wind. Even if she really regards him as her boss, there is no need to follow him all the time. She had been here in advance, preparing food and drink for him. She might have even exchanged Wilenz's head for gold coins, and even took the time to change her clothes and wash her face. I really don't know where she got the time...
Nesse thought as he entered the cave and saw a swamp troll cooking meat porridge.
"Hiccup?" said the troll.
He didn't start a fight with the troll. This place is already close to Semoland Academy. The trolls are quite humane, otherwise they would not be able to survive at all.
"Mage. Go to school. Huh?" The troll blinked its red and swollen eyes and said respectfully.
"Have a bowl." Nesse breathed out. It seemed that his image was very successful, exactly like one of Semoland's apprentices. He took out a silver coin and sat by the fire.
The troll happily accepted the silver coin. He took out a large bowl made of stone, poured some random scoops into the pot, and handed it to him.
The meat porridge has a strong smell.
Nese didn't even look at the contents, and silently sucked along the edge of the bowl.
The flames crackled and the troll huffed and gulped down his porridge beside him. The meat porridge in the pot quickly reached the bottom, and the troll picked out the skeleton inside, chewed it up and swallowed it.
Ranwen
Nesai looked outside the cave and saw that it was completely dark. The white light that the floating city glared at continued day and night, suddenly blowing through the entrance of the cave.
"Rest! Rest!" said the troll, spreading his rough hands toward him.
Nese put a silver coin in the palm of the troll's hand, and the troll smiled happily. Pat the broad flat stone platform on one side. It was covered with a thin layer of dry branches.
Nesse moved over and tried to lie down on it.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't returned to his human form for so long. He turned over and over again, but he still felt terrible.
can not sleep.
"Have you heard of the Featherless One?" It was too quiet. He originally liked silence. The silence now disgusted him, so he broke it with a question.
The troll didn't answer.
"Have you ever seen a man named Ufa Ufa?" Nese asked again.
"What's the latest news in Semoran Academy?" He turned over. "Did you see a half-elf passing by?"
The troll gurgled in his throat, and suddenly snored loudly on the other side.
